What do you do when you are moving ahead with REI education but the spouse doesn't and is negative with every discussion of an investment opportunity?  

The efficient landlord thinks ahead in all things and that includes preparations for the holiday season.

Doing it this way will give you a heads up on your next refi because you’ll know which banks to avoid based your your current circumstances.

(I’m 24, she’s 22) I recently purchased a three family as my first move as a house hack like you said but set the expectations with her ahead of time.

I think I can fix couple of those issuesand I will go ahead and replace the faucet for the one in bad shape.

they said they just wanted to push ahead as all parties were present and they would make a substitution of names on the court's paperwork.

Get started, it doesn't matter what path you take, just start, make mistakes, learn from them, get better, but get started and build equity.If I would have jumped in sooner I would be light years ahead of where I am now (even if my first purchase was bad).  

Make sure you plan your Expenses to deal with any potential damage once they leave ( I always assume that it'll cost between 8k-10k when one leaves) and plan ahead. 

You will get the furthest ahead if you live in the suite or live in the main house and rent rooms in it as well..

Looking ahead, my wife wants to start a Property Management company in Rocky Mount that will actually care about the Investor and Tenant.
